What a waste Simon elliott's old car ...
wonder where it is in Luton have to go and have a look..
And sneek out with the wheels .......

[viperdave]

Wouldn’t fancy the wheels. Look at the angle of the nearside rear. Looks as if they whacked it into the kerb before torching it. bs.

Must be quite a few bob's worth of useable parts though, at least the £6820 high bid so far. The front facia is probably worth a good part of that alone.

Expect we will be seeing some bits on ebay soon, although most of it will probably go back to the US where there is bigger demand.

hood looks ok, so maybe the engine is pretty much untouched and maybe escaped damage. Somebody's gonna have a shock when they look in and find its right hand drive, bet they will think they have a kit car

if i hadn't just bought an sl mercedes i'd probably have a go at this one(i am registered to buy)
it will almost certainly be sold to repair so watch out in about 6 months time...although how they will cope with building a rhd dash??
i did but it's not for the faint hearted

Why do thinks always come up at the wrong time, that
would have been a perfect car for me, I got all the bits to fix it, f***

[viper_larry]

There's still 2 hours to go...

[VPRMAN]

Well thats it gone. You never know the salvage company might put it up for sale now. Need to keep my eyes open, or maybe wait for the GTS to come up for sale.

[viper paul]

Yes but 15K not sure that that many parts would be needed in the UK. perhaps 6K for the engine 3K for the hood 2 wheels 1K.

Yep its going to be repaired, or perhaps cloned, RT/10 guys watch out

Out of interest just the rear T piece on the RT is over 600 dollars and interior parts, well r/h drive so its oz parts only, or will it be converted to l/hd

[Viper]

I'd imagine it would be put back to left hand drive as it would be cheaper, bet we will here more about this car

By the way, the replacement GTS is being repaired

[N GTS]

I'd have gone to 12 for it.

[RHDViper]

Yep , Your right you would here more about the car. And yes it took a couple of hours before i even realised it was RHD and it did cross my mind that it was a kit car.

O/k its going be difficult to find the parts (Australia i beleive ) but RHDs must be as rare and expensive as they get.

Can anyone offer any advice on finding the parts or anymore on the history . I.e where it came from etc etc . From the damage it looks stolen and the torched following several hours of continous wheelspin !!!

Any help would be great
